I work full time in the fitness business, I train clients in my gyms 5-6 days per week. I've been doing it for 5 years. And for the most part doing a damn good job. In the fitness business, you aren't selling training, you're selling results. Most of the folks I work with could care less about bangin' weights and getting the prowler flu, they just want to reach their goals.
Every once in a while you get a breakthrough with a client and they just "get it". This always makes me feel good. They pass beyond just wanting to "tone up" and start to enjoy the process. When this happens, the results usually take off.
What I'm trying to get across with this ramble, is that we all need to focus on the process and enjoy it. It's still very neccessary to have specific goals, but don't let them be the only reason you train. Enjoy the process.

MAF
Feelgood shoulder curcuit X 2 rounds
Squats-135X10, 225X10, 315X5, 405X1, 495X1, 525X1, 535Xfail, 495X1, 495X1, 495X1, 495X1
Drilling 525 and then missing 535 was frustrating as fuck, but I made some good adjustments during the singles at 495, should be a better result when I work up next. Mostly a case of not have a heavy squat single in a long time.
Front squats-225X10, 275X8, 275X8
Buf Bar GM's- 225X10, 225X10, 225X12
Weighted sit-ups-45X10, 45X10, 45X7 drop BWX8
GM's kicked my ass, and left me very grizzled the next day
Battle ropes-5 rounds (45sec on, 45 sec off)
Prowler- 3 singles
Battle ropes-5 rounds (45 sec on, 45 sec off)
This was my first legit bout on the ropes, they were decent, good conditioning work and an insane upper body pump,
